What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: A Case of Wallenberg Syndrome Presenting With Thunderclap Headache and Delayed Diagnosis Due to Negative Findings on Two MRI Examinations

    This study tells the story of a patient who had a brain stroke (Wallenberg syndrome), got the same medicine (dual antiplatelet therapy) mentioned in the claim, and still had trouble swallowing and dizziness for over 27 days — so it proves the claim is true.
